T02: docs/method/intake.md names all four sources INTENT claims and
builds the two that had none. An incident files first and grades within
the hour, carries first_observed because obligations run from it, sits at
instant until it is over, and escalates immediately rather than batched —
a 72-hour notification clock outranks the rule that protects the
operator's attention. External report has no address anywhere in the
estate, and where one lives is policy-nexus's and the custodian's, so it
is routed with a proposal rather than invented here.
T03: the production transition defined by what is held rather than what
was announced — the first moment any system holds real external data,
which can happen by accident and cannot be reversed. Declared by the
custodian; noticed and asked about by this register. Lists what fires:
five re-scores, two acceptances ending, six policies activating.
T04: the README no longer claims a surface this repo does not have.

T01, T02, T04-T08 done. T03 stays in progress: the escalation rule is
written and proposed, and it is not adopted until the custodian rules on
it — an unadopted rule is worse than an unwritten one because it looks
like coverage.

Owned by the-custodian alongside policy-nexus, with the duty of deciding what
must reach the operator personally.
Three things had nowhere to live. Findings landed in whichever document
discovered them - the estate's largest known gap is currently open question 3
in an unratified draft, with no owner, severity or date. Disclosure had no
mechanism, only publish-now or forget, which is fine in build mode and wrong at
production. And regulation was researched at the moment it was needed and never
retained.
Regulatory intake moves here from policy-nexus T06: deciding what a rule
demands of us is a judgement about risk, not an act of publishing. That also
leaves policy-nexus doing one thing, which was the point.
Two constraints written in deliberately. This repo does not fix - findings
route to the repo owning the defect, because a risk service that fixes becomes
a second engineering team with no boundary. And it does not block delivery in
build mode; if that changes it will be a decision recorded here, not a habit
that accretes.
The escalation rule is named as unwritten rather than invented. Getting it
wrong in either direction fails: escalate everything and the operator becomes
the queue, escalate nothing and the register is where serious things go quiet.
